Franck Perera (born 21 March 1984 in Montpellier, France) is a professional race car driver affiliated as a factory driver with Lamborghini Squadra Corse.

Career

Perera began competing in the GP2 Series in 2006 with DAMS, after spending four years racing with Prema in various junior categories. The following year, 2007, he participated in the Atlantic Championship for Condor Motorsports, where he achieved three victories and finished runner-up to Raphael Matos. On 6 February 2008, he secured a contract with Conquest Racing to race in the Champ Car World Series after an impressive test session. However, the merger between Champ Car and the Indy Racing League led to the cancellation of that season. Adjusting to the new circumstances, Perera modified his agreement to remain with Conquest Racing for the IRL IndyCar Series, but after only three races, he lost his position due to the bankruptcy of sponsor Opes Prime, which resulted in Brazilian driver Jaime Camara taking over his seat.

To continue competing in the United States, Perera joined Firestone Indy Lights with Guthrie Racing for the remainder of 2008. He made his debut at Iowa Speedway and claimed his first victory from pole position at Infineon Raceway during his eighth start. Later that year, he returned for the IndyCar Series finale at Chicagoland Speedway driving for A. J. Foyt Enterprises. In addition, he represented A.S. Roma in the inaugural 2008 season of the Superleague Formula championship.

In 2009, Perera returned to the GP2 Series, signing with David Price Racing to replace Giacomo Ricci. During the Hungarian round, he was prohibited from starting the feature race after causing a preventable collision with Romain Grosjean and failing to comply with the 107% qualifying time requirement. Furthermore, he did not qualify for either race at Spa-Francorchamps and subsequently departed from GP2 after that event. He briefly rejoined A.S. Roma in Superleague Formula for the Estoril round but was replaced by Julien Jousse at the following race.

In 2013, Perera resumed full-time competition by entering the Blancpain Endurance Series, piloting a Porsche 911 for Pro GT by Alméras within the Pro-Am category.
